ABSTRACT
Most of the things that really matter in life are not instantaneous. For instance parenthood is a long commitment. It will last at least 18 years, and that’s being optimistic. Take relationships, as another example. Friendships, marriages, business partnerships all take time to nurture and develop and can probably be destroyed within minutes! Consider also talents and skills. To repeat a much used analogy, David Beckham required repeated practice to develop his skills at free kick taking. Ed Sheeran did not leave the womb playing the guitar well. It all takes time and energy.
